SITE LOCATION 

The Poolsolar solar collectors should be positioned facing the sun as much as

possible for a maximum efficiency, ideally 30 deg (above horizontal) facing South. 

FILTRATION - MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE SHOULD NOT BE ABOVE 1.5 BAR (22 PSI)

A solar heat retention cover must be applied to swimming pool overnight and when the pool is
not in use to prevent heat loss.

If installing Poolsolar on a ground surface i.e. for small above ground or splasher type pools please be
aware that Poolsolar is not designed for heavy foot traffic. 

Make sure that all pipework to and from the solar collector can be drained for the winter period.

We would recommend the use of a time clock to automatically turn off the filtration system at night or by-
pass the solar system. Alternatively, an automatic control system can be installed see page 11.

Please take sufficient safety precautions before working on a roof.

Prior to commencing installation we recommend that you have the following tools and accessories
available:-

Tools:- Drill / Extruder Gun (for adhesive tubes) / Mini Wallpaper Roller /  Screw Drivers / Hacksaw /
Knife
